A huge number of questions on the "Direct Line with Vladimir Putin" concerned social problems. "Direct line with Putin": started accepting questions and appeals

On June 7, the annual "Direct Line" will be held by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The number of questions from citizens is approaching a million. tells what a direct line with the head of state is like and recalls the most extraordinary questions that the head of state had to answer.

For the first time, the "Direct Line" of the President with the citizens of the country on nationwide television and radio channels was organized on December 24, 2001. In the future, direct lines were held annually, with the exception of 2004 and 2012. In total, Vladimir Putin participated in 13 programs.

During the broadcast, the head of state touches on important topics related to the socio-political, socio-economic life of the country. Putin does not bypass the theme of the international situation. Since 2001, questions to the President can be sent by phone, since 2003 - by SMS. Since 2014, using the Moscow-Putin application, you can record a video question to the country's leader. Since 2016, the head of state can be contacted through the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki.

Truly original questions began to be asked to Putin almost immediately. During the first Direct Line in 2001, Putin was asked if he had a doppelganger, because the president does so many things at the same time, but always looks fresh and not tired. Vladimir Vladimirovich replied that he really travels and flies a lot, but he does not have twins. "It's all fairy tales"- Putin said and noted that he goes in for sports in his free time, so he feels great.

One of the strangest questions was asked in 2006. True, the president answered it as part of an Internet conference, that is, in the format that has now actually merged with Direct Line.

Question: How do you feel about the awakening of Cthulhu?
Answer: In general, I am suspicious of any otherworldly forces. If someone wants to turn to true values, then it is better to read the Bible, the Talmud or the Koran. There will be more benefits.

The audience also remembered the year 2007, when the “Direct Line” lasted more than 3 hours, and Putin answered 67 questions out of 2.5 million received. :

Putin:- I'm listening to you, good afternoon!
Female:- It is you?
Putin:- I AM!
Female:- Is it true you? And before, too, were you, right?
Putin:- And I used to be.
Female:- Oh, God, thank you very much for everything!

During the "Direct Line" in 2009, which lasted more than 4 hours, Putin received an offer to enter eternity.

Question from Dolgov Sergey Mikhailovich:- Would you like to live as long as you want, as long as you want? If you wish to enter eternity as a citizen of planet Earth, please call the contact number.
Answer:- Dear Sergey Mikhailovich, I am proud to be a citizen of the Russian Federation. This is quite enough.

Another question during the Direct Line in 2009 concerned linguistics, in particular, proposals for reforming the Russian language.

Question:- How do you feel, for example, about the reform of the Russian language? Do you eat yogurt or communicate?
Answer:- I do not use yoghurt or yoghurt, I drink kefir. But in general, this is, of course, a matter for specialists.

In 2013, out of 3 million questions, one was found, which, perhaps, can be called one of the most complex and large-scale in the life of Vladimir Putin.

Question:- When will everything be fine?
Answer:- When will everything be fine? People who like to drink, we say that it is impossible to drink all the vodka, but we must strive for this. Everything will probably never be good. But we will strive for it.

During the "Direct Line" in 2014, in which for the first time residents of the new subjects of the Russian Federation - Crimea and Sevastopol took part, the girl Albina asked the president if Obama would have saved him if the president of the Russian Federation was drowning? Vladimir Vladimirovich expressed his confidence that Obama is a courageous person and most likely would have saved him. “I would not want this to happen to me, but in general, in addition to state relations, there are personal and Obama is a courageous person, I think he would do it,” Putin answered.

A year later, the girl Varvara Kuznetsova asked Vladimir Putin who would be the first to save him: the drowning Poroshenko or Erdogan? Putin assured that Russia “ready to extend a helping hand and friendship to any partner, if he wants it.”

During a four-hour communication with citizens in 2015, the topic of self-interest in the life of the president was touched upon.

Question:- Do your friends take advantage of your kindness?
Answer:- Why only friends? Everyone is using.

In 2016, the participation of Russian military personnel in the operation in Syria was topical. A MEPhI student named Nikita reflected it in his question.

Question:- What other enemies of Russia will be hit by our VKS?
Answer:- First of all, we need to strike at impassability and slovenliness.

This year, a direct line with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which took place on June 7 in the hall of Gostiny Dvor, lasted 4 hours and 20 minutes. In total, more than 2 million appeals were addressed to the head of state. Putin answered 73 questions.

However, the most interesting questions remained unanswered. Social networks publish what appeared during the live broadcast on interactive screens in the studio. Many of the questions initially do not require any answers, but simply express the attitude of Russians to what is happening in the country. Many of them are rhetorical, others are not even questions, but statements.

But I have no questions ... I already understand everything ...

Another “Direct Line” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which the President communicates with the citizens of the country, will take place on June 7 this year. Questions to the head of state are received through various communication channels starting from 8 am on May 27 until the end of the broadcast, which starts at noon on June 7. The most important and interesting of them will be heard during the program.

The Direct Line 2018 format is expected to be slightly different from previous sessions of the president's communication with the people. As Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the head of state, noted earlier, this year some technological innovations are envisaged that will expand the geography and volume of communication between the Russian leader and citizens.

How to ask the president a question during the Direct Line in 2018

There are several ways:

By calling on the phone. A free call from landlines and mobile phones to the Unified Message Processing Center from anywhere in Russia is received at 8-800-200-40-40. Calls from abroad - 7-499-550-40-40 and 7-495-539-40-40.

Via SMS or MMS messages. Accepted to the number 04040 only from the phones of Russian telecom operators, while sending is free. But there are limitations here: the amount of text (only in Russian) should not exceed 70 characters.

The traditional direct line with Vladimir Putin in 2017 will take place on June 15 at 12:00 Moscow time, but you can and should ask the president questions today. For example, by sending an SMS message, by calling a hotline or on the website.

In addition to TV channels, this year Putin and citizens will be led by the Odnoklassniki social network. Since June 4, a special Direct Line group has also been collecting questions addressed to the president. The authors of the best will be connected to a direct line with Putin.

This year will be the sixteenth broadcast of the President's communication with the Russians. From 2008 to 2011, when Vladimir Putin served as prime minister, the direct line was called “Conversation with Vladimir Putin. Continuation".

The MIR 24 correspondent recalled the most interesting, exciting and unusual questions that were asked to the president over the past years.

year 2001

The first broadcast took place on December 24, 2001, when Vladimir Putin was asked 47 questions, and the conversation lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes.

For example, one pensioner complained to Vladimir Putin that, being a participant in the Second World War, she receives only 1,000 rubles. And she asked if the president could raise pensions.

“It is strange for me to hear this question, because the average pension in the country has exceeded the targets that we set at the beginning of the year. Over the past two years, the state has paid enough attention to pensioners. The average pension has grown by 23%, and it has grown even more for participants and invalids of the war, and its size is 3,900 rubles. If you have not yet recalculated it, then this is a mistake of the authorities that should deal with this. We have your phone number and the issue will be resolved,” the head of state replied.

One Yekaterinburg resident asked Putin how he felt sleeping at George W. Bush's ranch as a former Russian intelligence officer.

“You are right, in the days of the USSR, the United States was considered the main adversary. But I was not very excited when I spent the night at Bush's ranch, he himself must have thought what might happen if he let in a former Soviet intelligence officer. But the current president is the son of the former director of US central intelligence, so we were in the family circle and understood each other quite well, ”the president answered a tricky question.

Another Russian asked Putin if he had a doppelgänger, since the president does so many things at the same time, but he always looks fresh and not tired.

“Still, I don’t fly every day, but I really travel and fly a lot. I just try to play sports in my free time. Of course, I don’t have twins. These are all fairy tales, ”he replied.

-Vladimir Vladimirovich, how did you earn your first money and how did you spend it?

“I earned my first real money as a fighter in a construction student squad. We went to Komi, where they cut a clearing for power lines and were engaged in the construction of houses. He earned crazy money for those times - a thousand rubles. A car then cost four. I confess that I ordered them wrong then. I won't say how.

2002

This direct line took place on December 19 and lasted a little longer - 2 hours 37 minutes. Then Putin was asked 51 questions.

One of the schoolgirls asked the president why on New Year's Eve in her hometown of Birobidzhan they do not set up a real Christmas tree for the New Year, but only an artificial one.

“The governor should make a gift to himself and to the residents of the Jewish Autonomous Region and install a live Christmas tree,” he said.

A Russian pensioner asked Vladimir Putin if he uses counterfeit medicines, of which there are many in Russia now.

“I hope I don't have to use counterfeit drugs. In general, I try to use them less, only when absolutely necessary,” the President replied.

One of the residents of the Stavropol Territory asked Putin if his classmates were jealous of him and if he kept in touch with them.

“I think this is a question that should be addressed to classmates. I meet with them sometimes, not as often as I would like. But I didn't notice the envy in their eyes. These are very decent and kind people, I think that they support me and are happy, just as I would be supported by any result in their life,” Putin said.

2003

The conversation with the president then took place on December 18. In 2 hours and 50 minutes, Putin answered 68 questions.

Then TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva asked Putin the first question, asking if he was worried on direct lines. The president's response came as no surprise:

"Not. If you follow two simple rules: do not promise the impossible and do not lie, then there is no need to worry,” Putin said.

One of the Russians was interested in how the puppies of Putin's dog Koni, who were born on the eve of the direct line, feel.

“The puppies are doing very well. They are generally nice guys. They do not see yet, but they are very active with their mother. As for their fate, this is a separate story. There are many requests to give a puppy. My family and I will think about it. Puppies should be given only to reliable hands,” the President replied.

2005 year

On September 27, the president answered 60 questions, 15 of which he chose himself. The direct line lasted 2 hours and 50 minutes.

-Vladimir Vladimirovich, as an experienced summer resident, you can understand how great it is to have a plot with your own house. To build it is very long and expensive. Maybe rural residents could be given ready-made houses on credit?

“The housing problem is one of the most acute since the times of the USSR. I can repeat that it is possible for rural youth and for depressed regions to receive housing on the right to rent, with the subsequent opportunity to buy this housing,” Putin replied.

In 2005, Putin read out a letter from the boy Vanya, who complained to the president that he could not live with his parents, he had to live with his grandmother, because they did not have their own living space. The head of state said that although he himself does not have the necessary powers, he is sure that after the broadcast there will be philanthropists who will help Vanya.

One of the Russians then asked Putin if the army would use robots.

“Maybe it will come to robots. But without human participation, this is impossible. The main thing is the border guard,” the head of state replied.

And a resident of Moscow asked how Vladimir Putin relates to the awakening of the sorcerer Cthulhu. It turned out that the Russian leader does not believe in otherworldly forces.

“In general, I am suspicious of any otherworldly forces. If someone wants to turn to true values, then it is better to read the Bible, the Talmud or the Koran. There will be more benefits,” he said.

2007

The sixth direct line has already lasted three hours. It took place on October 18, and Putin answered 69 questions.

Then the president began communication with congratulations to the Russian national football team on their victory.

An ambulance driver from Moscow complained to the president about traffic jams and motorists who do not even give way to ambulances.

Vladimir Putin replied that "rudeness on the roads depends on the general culture."

At the same time, one of the Russians asked the president how, despite his high employment, Vladimir Putin knows three foreign languages ​​- English, German and French.

“I have to admit, I didn’t feel like I had any special abilities. Until I started living in Germany, in the environment of the language, I didn’t speak it properly. But I survived there for five years, so even a person with average ability can master the language. I study English for 10-15 minutes regularly. Not in order to perform on the world stage - let them teach Russian. But for normal communication with colleagues, it is not always possible to talk about everything in the presence of an interpreter. But my French is far from fluent. A second language is like having experienced a second life,” Putin said.

And another woman, once on a direct line, for a long time could not believe that she was talking to a real president.

Vladimir Putin: I am listening to you, good afternoon!
- It is you?
Putin: Me!
- Is it true you? And before, too, were you, right?
Vladimir Putin: And I used to be.
- Oh, my God, thank you very much for everything!

2008

The broadcast took place on December 4 and lasted about 2.5 hours, then Putin answered 46 questions, for the first time in his new post of prime minister.

A girl from Buryatia, Dasha Varfolomeeva, asked if the head of state could give her a dress.

- Uncle Volodya! New Years is soon. We live on my grandmother's pension, there is no work in the village. My sister and I dream of new dresses. I want to ask you for a dress like Cinderella. Become a good wizard for the New Year.

Putin replied: “I invite you and your parents to the main Christmas tree in Moscow, and we will deal with the gift.”

But the residents of Dagestan complained that they were not taken into the army even for money. The question surprised him.

"Unexpected turn. An unexpected twist on the topic. You can’t lure someone into the army, but someone wants to, they don’t take it, ”he replied.

In addition, one of the Russians asked how the Ussuri tiger cub, which was presented to him for his birthday, was doing. It turned out that Putin gave the baby to the zoo, but assured that proper care was organized for him.

year 2009

Since this year, Putin's communication with citizens has become longer. The conversation lasted for four hours. And 80 questions have already been answered.

Then Putin was asked: “Who is behind Arbidol? Who does business for health?

“Behind this are people who are deprived of social opportunity, who only want to squeeze more money for themselves personally. In order to prevent such price spikes, we decided to register the prices of drug manufacturers.

Price mark-ups from 2010 will also be limited,” he replied.

The presenter then asked the prime minister if he eats yogurt or yogurt.

“I don’t use yoghurt or yoghurt, I drink kefir. But in general, this is a matter, of course, for specialists,” he said.

Another Russian promised Vladimir Putin eternal life.

“Would you like to live as long as you want, for as long as you want? If you wish to enter eternity as a citizen of the planet Earth, call back on the contact number .... Dolgov Sergey Mikhailovich.

But the Russian leader refused the offer.

“Dear Sergey Mikhailovich, I am proud to be a citizen of the Russian Federation. This is quite enough,” Putin replied.
Another interesting question concerned Putin's relationship with Russian ministers.

- Recently, we often see you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, with tigers, leopards and whales on TV and in photographs. You look happier in this company than with ministers. Does it just seem that way, or is that how it is?

“In my opinion, Frederick the Great, one of the Prussian kings said: “The more I get to know people, the more I love dogs.” But this has nothing to do with my relations either with ministers, or with my friends, with colleagues. I just love all living creatures, I love animals. And I must say that I simply use this opportunity of my current official position in order to solve some of the problems that are particularly acute,” the President said.

2010

The broadcast aired on December 16 and lasted 4 hours and 25 minutes, however, this broadcast attracted the smallest number of viewers since Putin ceased to be president.

Then the prime minister was asked about the president of Belarus: “Why do you offend our Old Man? Whatever he does, you don't like everything."

“Mother, Father - what is this about? Well, what does he do? Seems like it doesn't do anything. If we are talking about Alexander Lukashenko, what does it mean to offend? We have great respect for the Belarusian people. We have subsidized billions of dollars into the economy of Belarus,” he replied.

A Russian pensioner asked the President when an idea will appear in Russia for which one can live.

“For the sake of children, for the sake of grandchildren, for the sake of Russia, our homeland, it has always been worth living and creating. And for what else?

Once again, the politician was asked about his new pet puppy Buffy.

“Buffy the puppy is doing great. Draws big puddles and heaps all over my house. At the same time, he is a good guy, and I love him very much, ”he replied.

2011

On December 15, the anniversary release of the direct line took place. The conversation lasted 4 hours and 33 minutes, and Putin managed to answer as many as 90 questions.

The question, among others, was then asked by the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov.

- Believe me, there was not only opposition on Bolotnaya Square. But what can you say to the new offended who do not believe in elections?

“I am glad that I saw new faces who actively express their civil position. If this is the result of the “Putin's” regime, then I just like it,” the president replied.

A question was also received from a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church: “Let them scold us priests, but let them give us the floor. As well as doctors and teachers.

“People of democratic convictions read that we should not give much time to representatives of our traditional faiths. We, of course, have a secular state, and we should not forget about it. At the same time, we have lost certain values ​​of the Soviet period related to the moral code of communism. But if we look deeper into this code, then these are excerpts from the Bible,” he replied.

year 2013

This year the direct line lasted 3 hours and 47 minutes. As always, Vladimir Putin was asked completely different questions, for example, whether he was going to legalize drugs in Russia.

“No, only cannabis as a derivative for agriculture can be used, but as a soft drug, it is categorically against it,” he said.

They asked Putin and when everything will be fine in Russia.

"When will everything be okay? People who like to drink, we say that it is impossible to drink all the vodka, but we must strive for this. Everything will probably never be good. But we will strive for this,” the Russian leader replied.

They also asked for advice on raising children.

-Vladimir Vladimirovich, our son is uncontrollable. What can you advise as a father?

“The state bears a significant part of the responsibility on its shoulders for the education of young people, but we must not forget about the responsibility of parents. In each specific case, some advice is possible, but it is important to know the family, to know the child, the conditions in which he lives and is brought up,” he said.

Asked if the Russian president is happy, Putin replied that it was a philosophical question.

“This is a philosophical question. I am infinitely grateful to the fate and citizens of Russia for entrusting me to be the head of the Russian state. This is my whole life. Whether this is enough for happiness, I do not know. This is a separate issue,” he added.

year 2014

On April 17, residents of the new subjects of the Russian Federation - Crimea and Sevastopol - took part in the direct line for the first time.

To the question of a six-year-old girl, would Obama save Putin if the latter was drowning, the Russian president replied:

“I would not want this to happen to me, but in general, in addition to state relations, there are personal ones and Obama is a courageous person, I think he would do it,” Putin said.

When asked how things are going with Putin's personal life, he replied that "everything is in order."

"I'm alright. I have one friend, a big boss in Europe. Here he says after the divorce: “Do you have love?” I say, "In what sense?" "Well, do you love anyone?" I say: "Well, yes." "Does anyone love you?" I say yes". He must have thought I was completely mad. He said: "Well, thank God," and so waved the vodka. So, it's okay, don't worry," he replied.

2015

Then the Russians were worried about whether to be afraid of raising the retirement age.

“We have a growing life expectancy, but still for men it is 65.5 years. Well, what is it, if we set the retirement age to 65, you will excuse me for the simplicity of the expression, it means that you have worked, in a “wooden mac” and have you gone?”, the President replied.

One of the young citizens of Nalchik asked if it was hard to be president and how to become one.

"Do you want to be president? You will succeed if you want, judging by your mood,” Putin said.

Asked if his friends take advantage of his kindness, Putin replied:

Why only friends? Everyone is using it."

2016

On April 14, Vladimir Putin answered 80 questions in four hours. On one of the main ones - whether he is going to participate in the 2018 elections - he said:

“No, this does not mean that I made such a decision for myself. But this means that we must adjust our medium-term, long-term plans, without which no country can live, and Russia will not live.”

When asked by a ninth-grader from St. Petersburg how Putin feels about porridge, she noted that “with age, my attitude has changed for the better. Today I eat it every morning.”

Another schoolgirl asked: "To whom will he extend his hand first - Erdogan or Poroshenko." The President replied:

“If someone decides to drown, then it is impossible to save him. We are ready to extend a helping hand and friendship to any of our partners, if he wants it. Russia will extend a helping hand to any of its partners in a difficult situation, if they themselves want it.”

At the end of the straight line on the screen, the appeal: “Long life to you! Baba Zina.

“Here is Baba Zina, as I believe, wishes a long life not only to all those present in the studio, but also to all citizens of Russia. And we, in turn, let's thank Baba Zina for this message and express the hope that her health will remain safe and sound, that she will be happy and healthy.

15/06/2017 - 16:20

A direct line with Vladimir Putin in 2017 was held for four hours. During this time, the President of the Russian Federation answered a number of video questions from the regions, phone calls and SMS messages. There were both personal issues and more serious issues such as the landfill in Balashikha. About everything about this in the material site

Results of a direct line with Putin 2017

One of the most pressing issues was the problems associated with the social and public life of Russian citizens. But the matter was not without questions from the field of economics and foreign policy.

Anti-Russian sanctions

Putin believes that at a time when other countries saw Russia as a competitor, they came up with sanctions against it. At the same time, as the president noted:

“If there were no Crimea, they would come up with something else.”

Vladimir Putin noted that thanks to anti-Russian sanctions, many areas of industry and agriculture were restored. The head of the vegetable union of Russia confirmed a significant improvement in the situation of domestic farms and even tried to enlist the support of the president if the sanctions were lifted.

In addition, the president said that if Russia, according to UN estimates, lost about $50 billion from sanctions, then those who imposed restrictions on it lost $100 billion.

Children and grandchildren of the President

Our fellow citizens could not help but ask the President about his grandchildren. However, Vladimir Vladimirovich voiced already known facts about his daughters, who live and work in Russia, in Moscow. They are not related to business, but work in the field of science and education. The hot news was the recognition of the president that he had recently had a second grandson.

Dilapidated housing, emergency houses, fire victims, garbage dump

The President received several questions at once related to the emergency condition of their housing. In the Trans-Baikal Territory, a single mother cannot wait for her own home after a fire in 2015. Putin promised to send an appropriate check to the region with the involvement of the prosecutor's office.

In Balashikha, residents said that they live near a landfill that has been forming for 50 (!!!) years. Putin shared that Russia plans to build three modern waste processing plants, three of them in the Moscow region.

Poroshenko and "Farewell unwashed Russia"

Maternal capital

Live, the president and the whole country were shown a newborn baby, born literally 20 minutes before the president was asked a question. The obstetrician is concerned about the declining birth rate and issues of social benefits for parents.

Putin said that the maternity capital program in the form in which it exists may be continued, or may be changed. So, Putin believes that it is more efficient to give money from mother's capital to the family's primary needs than to invest it in order to receive it after that with certain losses from the sale. Vladimir Putin said that measures to stimulate the birth of the first child are also possible, since young people born in the 90s have now entered the age of childbearing.

The film "Matilda" and Natalia Poklonskaya

Sergei Bezrukov, sitting in the hall next to producer Alexei Uchitel, could not help but clarify about the well-known conflict with State Duma deputy Natalya Poklonoska. Vladimir Putin said that every person in our country has the right to his own point of view. And he would not like to enter into an argument, Vladimir Putin said.

Presidential Election 2018

And finally, the issue of future presidential elections was raised during the Direct Line. However, Vladimir Putin made it clear that he is not yet ready to announce his decision to participate in the presidential elections. Therefore, this question remains intriguing for now.
